http://www.swatreform.org I'm writing to ask you to watch a new online video, "SWAT Raids -- No One Is Safe." Please visit http://www.swatreform.org to watch it. When you're done, please sign the "Petition for Responsible SWAT Reform"; and please inform your friends, family members, and mailing lists you're on about http://www.swatreform.org so they can watch the video and sign the petition too. "SWAT Raids -- No One Is Safe" is based on the 2008 case of Cheye Calvo, Mayor of Berwyn Heights, Maryland, whose home was stormed and two dogs killed by a SWAT team during a botched marijuana investigation. Last month the Maryland General Assembly passed groundbreaking legislation, proposed by Mayor Calvo, requiring SWAT teams to report on their activities so the public can know (http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle_blog/2009/apr/09/cheye_calvo_comments_on_the_pass). Copies of your petition will be sent to your own state legislators, and to Congress and the Attorney General, helping Mayor Calvo and others get SWAT reform legislation passed in Congress and in states across the nation. Please visit http://www.swatreform.org to watch the video, sign the petition and spread the word so this can happen. The overuse of SWAT teams is one of many abuses in our failing "drug war" -- visit http://www.swatreform.org for information about this troubling problem. Thank you for standing up for justice. http://www.swatreform.org
